What does being intense even mean?


We're just taking it slow and he said he's controlling his intensity by being extra chill/laidback. That intensity tends to only come out in committed romantic relationships for him.


He said it's not a toxic type of intensity though. So I don't know what he means now by "intense".


He's a Scorpio in Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus. So I guess it's not a surprise that he can manage to keep certain things under surface.

It means he waits until you fall asleep to stare at you intensely and breath deeply.
Tell him about the taurus and pisces guy if you really want a taste of his uncontrolled intensity lol

Well I don't talk to Pisces guy now. Taurus guy, I've distanced myself from. And I'm pretty serious about Scorpio guy now. I was just curious about what people mean by Scorpio intensity romantically.
Do you have any Scorpio in your chart?

The only guy who was able to understand my love style and was able to reciprocate it was Scorpio dominant..

Well I guess because Scorpios are highly observant and really care for loved ones, sometimes a bit more than themselves so most will do anything for their loved ones.

But no, I don't have any Scorpio in my tropical zodiac chart. Not sure about sidereal etc.


I have a dominant Pisces Moon and am an empath though, which probably explains why I can match his emotional expressions. Because I don't see him as intense, and according to him, I'm the only one who's able to make his whole face soft and naturally smiley. He thinks he has psycho eyes, but when we stare at each other anyway, I don't see that. It's all soft.


I do wonder if he's holding back on letting whatever this intensity is, out though.

Ooh I like to consider myself an intense person only because of how I look. People might look at me and assume I does all those things you listed but I don't know if I can actually relate to doing all those things tho. I kinda like for a lady to bring it all to me full force. She can even go berserk and do a 360° splash on me in the bed. I'm much too shy.

Breathe*
He’s going to follow you to the bathroom, demand all your passwords, check your phone and ban you from seeing your friends and family. Big Grin


Jokes aside, it is shady to hide something important until “committed”. Or to change his behaviour once he thinks he’s got you. What does commitment to a relationship mean to him, anyway? Are you not exclusive? Is he one foot in, one foot out atm? Tell him you demand commitment from him asap, as well as showing you his true self!


I’ve sun, Venus, mercury and Jupiter in Scorpio but my moon is in stable Taurus

Even so, in love relationships I could be too full on. The guys loved the sex and passion but I was unreasonable in other ways

I’ve always thought Scorpios aren’t

the easiest in relationships and every Scorpio moon man I’ve known has struggled with relating....it’s a very complex placement emotionally

Maybe he's saying "in tents" and means he'll take you camping more often?
Camp as a row of tents 😃
OH OK at least he clarified it's not a toxic type of intensity though. Phew.


It low-key means leave while you can.

My Scorp is intense, but I love it.

Depends what you like in relationships.

He is clingy, sensitive, a little jealous, needs reassurance.

Always wants to hear how I feel, always wants to be affectionate and talk to me.

Its cute, he wants me included in everything and always tells me how good I look and how he adores me.

He tells me hes obsessed with me lol But my Leo self looooovvvvvvvveeeees it lol

I eat up the intensity it feeds me perfectly, and I smother him with affection. Perfect match.

Some say Scop and Leo are too much together but we both are intense so it works


How did he finally open up and let it all out?

I have this kind of intensity with someone. Devotion would be the right word. Clingy only when she shuts down and going through shit and willn't let me in. She got Leo Venus and mars. However I think it's true cancers like to be the clingy one lol

Why do you think you're full on? :0


I don't think many people are 100% easygoing. We need hardships and ups and downs to build our strength. Not abusive, toxic types, that's a different kind of life lesson. But to naturally go through the normal ebb and flow of life together because it's the best way to grow smile

Very easy going with family and friends but in a sexual relationship i turn into the 👿lol. It becomes everthing to me and takes up too much room. Sexual overkill.
Posted by alexscaries

Have you ever thought about asking him what he means by intense?
I did before, kinda forgot what he said. But he said it's not a toxic type of intensity. That he's not insecure or controlling as a person.


That when he gets into a romantic relationship he's secure about being long term in, and of the person he's with, then he feels like he can let out more of his emotions. I'm a deep, emotional person myself so I think it works 🤷🏻‍♀️ I myself want someone who isn't scared of handling/feeling their emotions and talking about them.


I guess it's like when someone's a bit guarded at first about who they can be emotionally vulnerable with. Because he's told me how he doesn't let everybody see his true self if he thinks they don't deserve to see it or aren't safe to get close with. I'm one of the people he said he feels safe to be his true self and close with. I'm just wondering if I'm experiencing his intensity yet or not, because he doesn't seem that intense to me. That's why I want insight from fellow Scorpios here, or people who've been/are with one long term.


We also realised we can be both mature and serious when we need to be, whilst also letting out our inner child and being silly too. Which is what we're both looking for in a partner.

Yes, very positive and creative

Maybe it conjuncts your sun?

Intense emotions, strong passions.. 100 on the scale from 0 to 100. Don’t really know how else to explain it. Lol if you’ve dealt with a Scorpio before then you probably have an idea.
Well both my parents are Scorpio Suns, but I don't want to think they're the norm/representing majority of Scorpios. That's why I'm here to ask. My mother has narcissistic personality disorder and other mental health issues, and once someone is a narcissist, they'll fit more with the symptoms of narcissism than their astrology placements, in my opinion. Because I've seen it.


I do have to ask is sudden mood swings and sudden outbursts of anger a Scorpio trait, or an upbringing issue?
When I was with my last lover and I was trying to end things, a shaman healer who i was seeing said “he could kill you”. He wasn’t violent but the sexual energy between us was so potent she saw me being pushed to the edge with him and me experiencing some kind of death...I understood what she meant as we were kind of out of control at times...


Both of us Scorpio dominant


That relationship healed me...experiencing the extremes of myself was so necessary to bring some balance.

I think you guys be misinterpretating people I hate to say. Round eyes are usually an indication of empathy. People like to assume they are psychotic when in fact that's just how they naturally look. Dude look surprise in that photo to me tho. I kinda wish you'd capture his mouth. That would help tell the whole story.

They're the crazy eyes of a manic depressive hyperactive. I don't find them psychotic though just unpredictable, but I could be looking at it based more on his films than anything else.

Whatever it is those eyes I would not trust if I happened to meet them the first time. That's the feeling I'm getting from that person.

Well, as soon as he knew I had interest back... he started letting it out. Over time the intensity increased.

But the more I showed the more he showed, which he was always one step ahead of me lol


And yes Cancers do like to be the clingy one

Ya unfortunately I have trouble telling her everything. Good to know the day she shows interest back she will like how I will devour her.

Omfg I swear men these days act like sensitive little schoolgirls. Is there anything more pathetic than a guy describing himself as "intense".

Comes and goes. Same with me. A lot going on in our life.

A intense feeling of love. I have difficulty handling it.

She fucking awesome.
Too fast to soon. We know what we want pretty soon but we understand it might be too much too fast for the other. So we hold back. That’s what he probably means by intensity .
Posted by Midnite_Riser

When a person with a Venus in Scorpio likes/wants you, they will give you the ''I want to fuk you'' intense stare and their eyes will dialate. I have experienced that first hand with a girl who has her Venus in Scorpio at work.
Sounds v hot. Though, my Scorpio's eyes don't even look intense to me, even when I saw them dilating whilst we were just staring at each other and cuddling for a long while.

That makes sense. Though with Pisces Moon, I've had to control my own don't fall too fast feelings. And even then, maybe I don't see his intensity because he either hasn't shown it all yet, or the passion from my Leo Mars can handle it and sees him as normal.

Really? Usually, I think it means when you really like or love something or someone though.

When my Scorpio and I just stare at each other, I only get a soft, mesmerised gaze from him. He thought his eyes look psycho, but I told him when he looks at me, they're always soft and smiley ☺️
Update: I think I get why I don't find my Scorpio intense now. Because I'm equally as "intense" you could say. Been labelled more as "too much" by past love interests before. I'm just glad Scorpio and I see each other as beautifully enough 😊


We found out we're both INFJ personalities. The rarest personality in the world, go figure haha except he's INFJ-A and I'm INFJ-T. We found out we have much more in common than we thought, but the few differences we do have are quite drastic, makes it interesting smile
Well what the fuck do you think he means?! It really annoys me that many people don't understand our encrypted language, (scorpio language). Just ask your gut. I don't wanna answer your question.
